PearPC output screen black (redscorp setup)

Post by highwaykind »

I'm trying to install PearPC for the first time.
I've downloaded the redscorp PPC Control Panel and the Redcorp Pear PC files.
I've setup the thing with the Wizard, pointed it to the correct files, and when I press the green arrow, the Pear PC Output remains totally black.
(I tried setting things up with the original PearPC and had to do something in DOS to get the correct screne, but then it didn't find bootable images).

I've got
1)original mac 10.4.8 Discs
2) ISO image of 10.6 (which I pointed the wizard to).

config file:
#highwaykind
# Created with PearPC Control Panel
#D:\Downloads\redscorp-release-20080329.1\redscorp-release-20080329.1\release\ppc-amd-sse3.exe
#FinderIcon
#No SDL
pci_ide0_master_installed = 1
pci_ide0_master_image = "D:\Mac\pearpc-6gib.img"
pci_ide0_master_type = "hd"
memory_size = 0x40000000
ppc_start_resolution = "800x600x15"
redraw_interval_msec = 60
prom_driver_graphic = "D:\Downloads\redscorp-release-20080329.1\redscorp-release-20080329.1\release\video.x"
ppc_start_full_screen = 0
key_toggle_mouse_grab = "F12"
key_toggle_full_screen = "Alt+Return"
key_change_cd_0 = "none"
cpu_pvr = 0x00088302
pci_rtl8139_installed = 0
pci_rtl8139_mac = "de:ad:ca:fe:12:35"
pci_rtl8139_type = "tap"
pci_rtl8139_interface = ""
pci_3c90x_installed = 0
pci_3c90x_mac = "de:ad:ca:fe:12:35"
pci_3c90x_type = "tap"
pci_3c90x_interface = ""
pci_usb_installed = 1
prom_bootmethod = "select"
prom_env_bootargs = ""
prom_env_machargs = ""
nvram_file = "nvram"
pci_ide0_slave_installed = 0
pci_ide0_slave_image = ""
Could anyone please help me? My Windows machine has a much faster processor and a lot more memory, I'd like to try iLife on this thing :)

Edit:

Went into DOS.


D:\Downloads\redscorp-release-20080329.1\redscorp-release-20080329.1\release>ppc
-amd-sse3.exe highwaykind.cfg

And that got me the setup screen, but again no bootable images are found.
Aaargh, I'm so close! (I think)

Hi,

You can't run 10.6 on PearPC. And it only supports PowerPC versions of OSX up to 10.4.11
